"Even though we only had one lesson, it was clear that this student is already an experienced and skilled player.

With a rich background in the world of music, I boast nine years of dedicated expertise in playing folk, rock, and jazz guitar. My musical journey advanced significantly with the academic rigors and artistic exploration at Mount Holyoke College, culminating in the award of a Bachelor of Arts in music. This educational endeavor has not only refined my technical skills but has also enriched my understanding and appreciation of various musical genres. Armed with a passion for guitar and a solid academic foundation, I aspire to continue creating and sharing beautiful music with the world.

As a Mexican-American composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, I've dedicated my life to creating captivating music that resonates with audiences worldwide. Born and raised in Marietta, Georgia, USA, I embarked on my musical journey early, eventually earning a bachelor's degree in classical composition from Georgia State University. Under the guidance of esteemed mentors like Dr. Nickitas Demos and Dr. Robert Scott Thompson, I honed my craft and explored diverse musical styles. At GSU, I performed on trombone, guitar, and tenor voice in various ensembles, showcasing my versatility and passion for music. Continuing my education, I pursued a master's degree in classical composition at the Manhattan School of Music, studying with renowned composers such as Susan Botti and Reiko FΓΌting. π΅ Alongside my academic pursuits, I've collaborated with acclaimed artists and bands, including Planet PXL and Misty Eyed, showcasing my talents as a session guitarist and keyboardist. Currently, I serve as the frontman for the Indie-pop group 'sa robo' and share my expertise as composition faculty at the Institute for Music Evolution, guiding aspiring musicians on their creative journey.

"James is an incredibly talented guitarist and teacher. He took time to get to know me and my playing, and was great at figuring out a plan of action for what to work on and how to go about it.
